I'm playing the music

Seriously though, I mostly run a node to verify my experiments, and I disable my mempool in part to save on bandwidth. So Core works fine for me in that context.

I recommend looking into Knots for any pleb who wants to help the network by relaying non-spammy transactions. You also give a relative speed boost to spam-free blocks, so I think Knots is a great option if you want to do that.

> what can be the endgame here?

When you run the default relay policies in Knots you get one benefit immediately: less spam in your mempool

You also get two more subtle benefits: (1) you're not responsible for relaying most spam to miners (2) you slow down the propagation of spam-filled blocks

The latter benefit also gives spam-free blocks a relative speed boost

Yes but it's the new bolt12 kind of lightning address, and coinos throws an error when I try to send to that, saying it is invalid

Correct, their true hashrate is about 15 EH/s

Mempool.space just estimates the hashrate pf each pool by counting how many blocks each pool produced and saying how much hashrate they'd be *expected* to have in order to do that. So when you get lucky, it looks like you have more hashrate than you do. Ocean reports their actual hashrate on their website, ocean.xyz/dashboard

you get them if/when a miner mines them

but (1) you *didn't* propagate them to miners (2) you *did* reduce that miner's block propagation speed

those are two benefits you lose by opting for Bitcoin Core's mempool software

"the network" is just "other people's computers." I don't care what they want to store in their mempools. I don't want to store spam in mine. *That* is the problem Knots solves.

Note: this is satire, I do not think any Core dev holds all of these opinions

Breaking: this sign seen outside the homes of multiple Core devs

hey nostr:nprofile1qqs9vmqkduad4vxglwja5q2mpvauer4nd9452he2r4pml0vhqktyd2qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds48xu5m can you add a "Create Voucher" button or similar to the Send page of coinos? It should create an LNURL withdraw code. When I want to withdraw my coinos balance from my cpu to my phone wallet, it's annoying to have to create a qr code on my phone wallet first, then somehow transfer that qr code to my cpu, then paste it into the web interface

it would also render custodial bitcoin illegal as well as any software that sends bitcoin anywhere, including into the strategic bitcoin reserve

every wallet manages the structure of its transactions

you cannot create a transaction without the thing they want to prohibit

Feds: "You're going to jail."

Wallets: "But we didn't do anything!"

Feds: "We have video of your users delaying their transactions."

Wallets: "That's *their* fault! *They* delayed their transactions!"

Feds: "You *let* them. You're under arrest."

Ocean has gotten very lucky today, punching well above their hashrate

They mined 3x more blocks than they should with their current hashpower

This is the language the Executive branch supposedly wants to use in its ban on bitcoin privacy tech. The middle one would ban using a program to "manage...the structure of a transaction." Wouldn't that ban any software that creates any tx? Wouldn't that ban *everything*?
